  Very good. Lots of things to like in this wine. So many layers of flavor; so much depth. It was decanted for three hours. There was quite a bit of residue in the bottle. Decanting isolated most of that. It is a really dark color with a nose of plums and something that was a bit more tangy, couldn't really place that aroma, but it was nice. It also had a good sense of earthiness. The flavors were very much the same except they were intensified by the depth. The tannins are just enough to finish it off beautifully. We enjoyed it very much.

  Should have made notes the night we opened and enjoyed it! Didn't. So now all I can say is that we certainly did enjoy it. Sorry fellow CTers... this tasting note is nearly useless!

  There are two ratings to give this wine: The first would be to rate this wine based on "true to variety" for Syrah. Yes I think there are 5% other Rhone varieties in this one, but this one is 95% Syrah. Second would be for this wine on a whole. True to variety score is 89 or 90 cuz there is no way myself nor anyone else at our group guessed Syrah. However, this wine is very pleasant to drink. I was getting some very good complex and dents purple and black fruits on the front. The middle of this wine is where I caught a little bit of fig and a little bit of cola. The Finish is where this wine shines: it dances between the black fruit, a little bit of cinnamon, Cola, herb, dried almond. Still has quite a bit of acidity to the finish, and still a lot of tannin. In retrospect, this really is classic Calistoga. Very much enjoyed.

  If tasting blind, I would have guessed Coombsville Cab. Dark as night in the glass. Hard to analyze at pop and pour. Got very perfumed with time to show a lot of red and black fruit (similar to the sweet, crunchy fruit I get with Coombsville)...gained some heft to show licorice and lavender. Not meaty or extracted. A tad peppery on the palate with fresh squeezed blackberries, raspberries, cherry cordial. Probably 2-3yrs until peak.
